If I bought a 1.5GPM new replacement aerator, would the faucet emit 1.2GPM or would it increase to 1.5GPM ? I see a lot of delta faucets like this

Does that whole round bulb part unscrew? It kinda looks like it might. Might spray some lime away on the whole works to get a better idea how it's put together. It looks like maybe the white part should unscrew. Like the white was the aerator but the screens have been pushed out.
I found a company named Neoperl that makes a rectangular aerator which is what I believe you need:

This faucet comes from the factory with the Delta RP61340 aerator which is a 1.5 gpm aerator.
This would mean that the faucet's internal valve and/or water delivery configuration is what limits GPM delivery to 1.2. So... NO, replacing the aerator won't help you because it comes with a 1.5 but is certified at 1.2
